Let My Spirit Always Sing
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: More Voices #83 (2007) Meter: 7.7.7 D Topics: Aging Lyrics: 1 Let my spirit always sing,
though my heart be wintering,
though the season of despair
give no sign that you are there,
God to whom my days belong,
let there always be a song.
2 Though my body be confined,
let your word engage my mind,
let the inner eye discern
how much more there is to learn,
see the world becoming whole
through the window of the soul.
3 Let your wisdom grace my years,
choose my words and chase my fears,
give me wit to welcome change,
to accept, and not estrange,
let my joy be full and deep
in the knowledge that I keep.
4 Let my spirit always sing,
to your Spirit answering,
through the silence, through the pain
know my hope is not in vain,
like a feather on your breath
trust your love, through life and death.

I Will Not Always Walk This Earth
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #120 Topics: Aging Lyrics: 1 I will not always walk this earth
with gentle step and caring heart,

to lasting good and living art.
2 My back is strong. My mind is sound.
Today I lift and carry on,
but future generations wake
to worship in an unknown dawn.
3 What can I do with what I have
to help the church in years ahead?
What gift can I now place in trust
for future needs for home or bread?
4 For children's children yet to come
like flowers living life's brief span,
I give this church a lasting gift,
a pledge, a promise, and a plan.
5 So come with me, come as you are
to celebrate this time on earth,
to sing with hope of future years,
to trust the Spirit for new birth. Scripture: Psalm 23:1 Languages: English Tune Title: SILVER FORK

with heart, and hands, and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom this world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us strong in grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
for all that has been given,
the Son, and Spirit blest
who dwell in highest heaven,
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be, evermore.

chantons à Dieu louanges!
Et joignons notre voix
au concert de ses anges!
Dès les bras maternels
il nous a protégés
et, jusqu'au dernier jour,
il est notre berger.
2 Loué soit notre Dieu!
Que notre vie entière
tous nous vivions joyeux
sous le regard du Père;
qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce
et nous guide toujours,
nous garde du malheur
par son unique amour.
3 De ce Dieu trois fois saint
qui règne dans la gloire,
chrétiens, empressons-nous
de chanter la victoire;
c'est lui qui nous unit
et nous fait retrouver
le chemin de l'amour
et de la liberté. Languages: English; French Tune Title: NUN DANKET

and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

than when we'd first begun. Languages: Chinese; Cree; English; French; Inuktitut; Japanese; Mohawk; Ojibway Tune Title: AMAZING GRACE (NEW BRITAIN)

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see:
O Christ, who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour;
what but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I have no fear with you at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with Me
